I’ve been a little quiet lately because we recently moved house, had boxes to unpack, had a previously booked holiday to go on and some visits from a well known broadband provider in order to get our internet working.

Part of the moving process was to find a removals firm.

I ended up getting 4 firms in to quote and, as I’m sure you know, it’s not a trivial process. They have a good look around, make copious notes and promise to send a quote, which they all did.

If you haven’t done any or only some of these strategic things well it’s not too late. You have around 10 days off now and no doubt during those 10 days you’ll have had enough to eat and drink, enough merriment and more than enough Christmas TV.

Hopefully you’ll seek some quiet time and maybe go for walks or read or whatever you do to relax. Let your mind wander to your business and think about the year that’s past and about those things that did and didn’t work. Focus on what worked really well and that you can take forward and focus on the top things that held you back or knocked your business off course.

If you can exploit the top two or three things that worked and overcome the top two or three things that didn’t, what difference would that make to your business? Think about this and then at some point find an hour or two of solitary time and think about these subjects I’ve been covering.

Set your destination, draw out the route you’re going to take as I described and plan how you’re going to stay on that route whilst exploiting that which did work and eliminating those elements that held you back.

This is creative work and will probably take 2 or more iterations. But being creative, it should be enjoyable ‘work’ that clears the cobwebs of over-indulgence and mind-sapping TV viewing.

Have a relaxing, peaceful holiday, read a good book and give your business a little non-stressful, creative time.

Businesses that are made up of efficient, working systems are far more likely to succeed than those that aren’t. No…let me re-phrase that – businesses that do not have key systems and processes in place will struggle. It really is that simple.

In this post, I outline, in no particular order, 7 reasons why your business will be far better and stronger for being systemised.

Even though I’m no Brian Cox, I do actually have a degree in Physics. I also have a Masters in Microelectronics and solid-state physics, the latter being the perfect qualification for being a designer of silicon chips, which is what I became.

Now, even though those days are long gone, the physicist in me is still fascinated by all things space and quantum. I know…exciting guy. I’m not smart enough to come up with theories like that of Einstein’s relativity or laws like Newton’s motion, but I understand them, appreciate their importance on us, on the world we live on and the galaxy we revolve around in.

Before I risk losing you there are 4 laws that I want to talk to you about because they have a profound effect on your business. So, stick with me as I describe these laws and exactly how they impact your business.
